Conlan, 24, was visibly shocked with the judges' scoring of the third round.

He vented in a post-fight interview saying: "Amateur boxing stinks from the core right to the top."

But this note from his five-year-old superfan Finn McManus is sure to pick up him a bit.

The note, posted on Facebook by an aunt, read: "Hi Michael, My name is Finn McManus and I am five years old. I saw your fight in Rio and you should have won because you are the best boxer in the world. I want you to have my school medal because you are a winner. I hope you like it, from Finn."

Belfast reacted in anger following the judges' call on Conlan's fight.
